Good for you, that's great. Also, who the fuck thinks it's their position to reprimand other peoples' children?! Just part of the "community minded" child-rearing they're so fond of.
Because it's not about the mask, the gendered language, the racism, the sexism. It's about power and control it's about compliance and morality policing.
These are unintelligent people, they have low self esteem, their parents didn't hug them enough or something.
If your u really want to piss them off, just flat out ignore them. They'll be screeching for the manager so fast your head will spin.
Bingo. They aren't asking people to wear masks in good faith, they don't argue in good faith, so don't respond to them with real answers. That isn't their goal. They want to control you, so tell them to fuck off and be done with it.
Yeah bro, they want to spark up a conflict so they can record you losing your temper so they can blow you up on social media. That's where they get you. In the court of public opinion.
You just gotta ignore them, then when they lose their shit, everyone else will film them, and you don't have to do shit.
Hey, once upon a time this was actually the norm; of course that was back when normal people were also the norm.
When I was growing up, if you were walking down the street and a car pulled up and a man got out and asked you to help him unload some packages, not only did you do so because you were taught to respect adults, but there was little reason to worry that he was a criminal or a pervert because criminals and perverts usually didn't make it to jail before getting their comeuppance. I think they called it "community involvement".
Yeah this is true. Peoples trust in others is deteriorating.
There are many factors why, including the spreading of narcissistic and selfish liberal ideas (which are disguised as “caring” because it replaces actual help with virtue signaling)
But I think the media has played a big role too. All types of crime are down to historic lows, worldwide, but we wouldn’t know because of the media. So less people are willing to help strangers. Hell some people are less willing to ACCEPT help
This. If my kids were running wild and I wasn't there, then maybe I could excuse it. But if I'm right there and you address them instead of me, you're going to be addressing a pissed off me in short order.
I work for a big box retail chIn and I hate other peoples kids whenever they dont control them.
They run around touching everything with their snooty noses, bouncing balls around, tripping up coworkers and customers, double scanning items. Standing in carts and running down aisles. I wish to god I could I slap every parent who let's their child do this bullshit but I have NEVER EVER EVER reprimanded someone else's child. As annoying as it is, I've never crossed that boundary and I'm irritated that the Karen reprimanded OPs daughter.
How about when you're the dad of a 10 year old girl and a 10 year old boy calls her an asshole, tries to pretend they are dating, and then says he's cheating on her?
You people are nicer than me...I never yell at the people working that ask you to put it on when you walk in (I am never wearing a mask)...but if someone in the store says something...I lose my cool pretty fucking fast on them.
I don't know how you do that with huge signs in front of the entrances that say no mask, no entry. Pretty much every store in California has these now.
Easy, you walk inside and simply don’t wear a mask.
There is no medical benefit, only risk of respiratory illness. But it’s America so if you want to subject yourself to lung infections and mandated authoritarian bullshit, that’s on you.
Consistently when I go shopping I am usually the only one not wearing a mask. Occasionally there will be one other person but it’s not often. No store has ever asked me to leave. But I always get double takes from everyone. Honestly it does make shopping a little uncomfortable, but I don’t care. I will show these people that they can take a stand.
Well thank god I am not in Cucked California (BTW California should be the shining jewel of our country)....lol...That being said, they all do every store here...every restaurant as well. It is usually some poor kid, I am never mean to them because they are doing their job. They never even bat an eye. If a store wants to kick me out they can. Plenty of options. At places with a liquor license I will hold a mask over my mouth until seated...my being an ass could cause someone to lose a liquor license and those are hard to come by....I do not want to adversely affect anyone's business.
Signs aren't magic. You can still go in if you have the nerve. If a manager/owner wants to say something to you they can, but they probably want your business more than they want to virtue signal. Try it and see. The worst that could happen is they ask you to leave.
Home depot can NOT make you wear one, they have the signs and they will give you one, but they can not make you. Per the Manager at one of the largest HD's in Atlanta.
Publix, a little 20 something came rushing up to me stating they had a complaint that me and my 13 year old were not wearing masks. I advised her" I am so sorry that person was so rude as to complain to you without knowing or asking my medical history. I am not putting a mask on my 13 year old, she needs all the O2 she can get. I can not wear one, I am disabled per the VA. That was ignorant and rude of that person to trouble you with that."
Thanks for this. As an employee of a big box retailer we can written up or fired if we dont say something about the mask. It's super frustrating for me because I dont want to be wearing this mask either! But they watch the cameras and get after us.
Hopefully once my husband finds a full time job I can leave this bullshit behind but until then... thanks for not yelling at people like me!
"I am obliged by a directive from management to request that all our shoppers wear masks." if you say it with an eyeroll and the proper lack of enthusiasm, I bet the shopper will get what youre really trying to say.
Yes, I try to be civil to store employees, but if it's just random people, I have to remind myself to ignore them. It helps that if they're making a snide comment under their breath, I usually can't hear them.
I got the feeling some Karen was coming down on the store I usually go in because when I went in, the mood was entirely different and one guy was sanitizing carts like his life depended on it.
Karen doesn't know that it's extremely unlikely that a child will contract COVID-19 or that a child will pass COVID-19 onto an adult. Karens just taking the opportunity to tell someone else what to do because deep down inside, Karen is a self righteous fascist.
I honestly hope you’re not forcing a 10 year old to wear a face diaper. It will cause her more harm than good. As a parent protecting your child is your responsibility so don’t fuck them up with enforcing authoritarian muzzle laws and allowing them to relinquish individual power to the state.
and what are we supposed to do when this insanity creeps so far in that kids are required to zoom their school classes and wear a mask at home during those classes? which is already happening in, what wisconsin or some shit...?
We need massive legal action, this is so out of control, they are trying to absolutely ruin all of us, with fines, arrests, house arrests, denial of service at essential stores, separation of families, breaking small businesses in half, revoking business licenses, making us sacrifice half our family incomes to homeschool, we can't worship, we can't bury our dead properly or have a reunion or celebration... we can't keep fighting them in ones-and twos, we need to either get this solved in court, or else take a fucking stand TOGETHER... ALL OF US. Theyre trying to kill everything good and prosperous in our lives.
" youre a faggot for telling someone to check your history"
that is exactly what people with brand new accts who have pages and pages of steaming ratio'ed horseshit comments, and come in here and disrespect the fuck out of people indiscriminately say.
Did you even know youre acting completely predictable, or did you think you were an original fuck.
Now get the last word in that you COMPULSIVELY have to have because youre a fucking pent up retard, and then never fucking talk to me again.
I was backing away with my hand in front of my daughter as if the woman was a predator. She didn’t say a word and was mortified. This was in Davis, CA a super liberal college town at a grocery co-op. The accusation of misgendering in Davis is basically a hate crime.
In Davis it's more likely a group text or email to the vegan active elders hot yoga now-online Zoom class for triple virtue signalling and outrage points. Edited event narrative of course.
Sadly I am not joking. They've all gone quite authoritarian fascist mad now.
My uncle who lived in Davis and was a professor and super old school liberal left would be deliberately marching in and out of a hundred stores a day with no mask or one on the side of his head wearing a jaunty grin and eyes sparkling with mischief just hoping he could trigger meltdowns so he could start a loud cheery philosophical debate and then ask if it was their Id or Ego imbalanced causing their trauma behavior or something similarly both embarassing and enraging.
In PA, you can't open carry during a declared state of emergency without a concealed carry permit., which I have. Incidentally, declared states of emergency are only good for 30 days and must be renewed. Our illustrious governor and his tranny health commissioner have been renewing them since 2017. He is destroying our state.
Side note saw some old fashioned parenting today. I was in Michael’s getting a present for my wife. Found the item and threw it in my cart. Next isle over I hear some little shit screaming that he wants something. Mom calmly tried to explain she had already taken it to the register and that she was still shopping. Now, I thought it was about to go downhill when she said “do I need to take you around the store to show you how other kids are acting so you know how to act right?” I thought the little shit was going to get his way. Then I hear it. “POP” spanked him in the store took the stuff back and walked out. There is still hope.
I had a mask Karen approach my family (husband, me, two little girls) while we were walking outside and demand that we walk in a single file line (Lol). I told her she had no right to harass an innocent family and she should stay home if she’s that freaked out.
But to the point here, all I could think about later is how did we get to a place where people now suddenly think they have the right to confront and harass strangers? It is insane what this has done to humanity.
See, I would have responded by very loudly, yet firmly, telling her "Don't you fucking threaten my child, you psychotic bitch!" Immediately, IMMEDIATELY take it up to the maximum, make that statement everything that the crowd will remember. if/when management is sorting out who to remove from the store, you want everyone to say "Everything was going normally, next thing I know this guy is getting between the little girl and a woman who I think threatened her." If you go by inches, she'll definitely make some shit up about you, so don't give her the opportunity.
Cobra Kai, man. Strike First, Strike Hard, No Mercy.
I’m in California and every store won’t let you more than a few steps into the store without an employee asking you to put on a mask. The Walmart’s and Raleys (grocery) have people stationed at entrances like bouncers making sure people are masked.
Same atvthe upscale Safeway and Luckys in my N CA city, teams of big male staff a good 10 feet outside doors and one near door too- just like bouncers.
But weirdly the Raleys in a mixed affluent and blue collar zone and the not upscale areas Safeway and TJd and smaller groceries and big box stores pretend they aren't even standing there inside door or have no monitoring. Sometimes I note a quiet approach inside stores or a cheerful reminder with no overt challenge, but that's it.
It helps this is a Greater SFBA edge city vs the heart of darkness, and many come in from the surrounding way less blue areas to shop. And survival relies on those dollars.
Tbh I fall into one or more risk factor ranges and reluctantly wear mine in stores- but I have stopped and stared a hole in Karens who are working up to verbal challenges to unmasked or poorly masked others shopping with nasty looks and asides muttered... until they FEEL my eyes and look at me.
I channel my grandmother's look of cold disapproving force of will straight into their eyes as I think my opinion of their offensive lack of public civility and personal privacy very firmly. Without fail so far they have abruptly dropped their eyes and fled the aisle. And I cheerfully go on shopping.
My Little Grammy was a 4'10" Miss Manners terror without ever saying or doing anything overt or ever raising her voice or hand- and that's one genetic inheritance I am glad I can turn to when need be, lmao!
She would be livid at all this if she were still alive- it breaks every social rule we were raised to practice and wildly violates her standards of personal responsibility too.
This is how you do it folks. You have to out crazy them at their own game. It's the only way to win. They use words like magic spells and say whatever combination of words they want to get what they want.
When you’re in Davis CA you must shame them using their own language. It’s more fun making them feel like a monster they pretend we are. Had I told her to fuck off and say some shit like trump 2020 she would scream racist or bigot. Instead she will go home to her cats and cut herself.
Good for you, that's great. Also, who the fuck thinks it's their position to reprimand other peoples' children?! Just part of the "community minded" child-rearing they're so fond of.
Community minded child rearing. From people without children who need yours to indoctrinate into their cult.

Nice. I would have gone with “shut your fucking mouth you fucking cunt” but yours is better.
Because it's not about the mask, the gendered language, the racism, the sexism. It's about power and control it's about compliance and morality policing.

Our communities have been destroyed by the big corporations and banks which own the government.
Same way in my young years.

Ah shit. well that's a horse of a different color indeed!!
Homeschooling is underrated.
Don't know why we let our kids get influenced by whatever kids the idiots in your area had.
As if the commie teachers weren't bad enough.
...go on. I feel like there's a story here.
Come down the yellow brick road
The only proper response.
Well, "her body, her choice" could work too.
You people are nicer than me...I never yell at the people working that ask you to put it on when you walk in (I am never wearing a mask)...but if someone in the store says something...I lose my cool pretty fucking fast on them.
Huge fan of “lick my fucking balls, stupid cunt” regardless of gender assumption.
Since seeing the light I’ve always got “Fuck off faggot” loaded in the chamber ready to go.
It’s worked thus far.
Would love to use but I do not want to get pulled in front of a "HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL" for saying naughty words that hurt someones fee-fees

call the manager ahead of time, and ask store policy on medical exemptions. Then you will know instantly if they will actually kick you out or not.
I have a mental note of places that let me in after doing just that. Usually the only person with no mask too.
Home depot can NOT make you wear one, they have the signs and they will give you one, but they can not make you. Per the Manager at one of the largest HD's in Atlanta.

Sad thing is a simple “I don’t fall for propaganda. Thanks though.” should suffice.
There shouldn’t be any need to explain or conjure a medical reason.
I agree, but I was killing her with kindness.
Pretty sure my response would have been, "CoVID isn't sending you to the hospital, I am... if you talk to my child again."
Thanks for this. As an employee of a big box retailer we can written up or fired if we dont say something about the mask. It's super frustrating for me because I dont want to be wearing this mask either! But they watch the cameras and get after us.

Yes, I try to be civil to store employees, but if it's just random people, I have to remind myself to ignore them. It helps that if they're making a snide comment under their breath, I usually can't hear them.
I got the feeling some Karen was coming down on the store I usually go in because when I went in, the mood was entirely different and one guy was sanitizing carts like his life depended on it.
Yep lol. they make us sanitize the carts even tho Its just glass cleaner. it's all about "optics " we were told
I had a similar situation.
Young man rudely approached son. And said you need to wear a mask.
My son said "Are you harassing a minor with his parent present?" In the most condescending way to him. Like he was talking to a reeeeetard.
I'm so proud 😂
THAT IS AWESOME!!!! You have the coolest kid ever. Raised right!!!
I might have lost it laughing had I witnessed that.
Then walked over after to congratulate your son for his quick wits and you for your parenting.
Thanks pede. If it wasn't for being so damn proud. I probably would've injured that young man.
Doubt it happened, but if it did I applaud you.
Don't worry, everybody started clapping when he was there.
Please clap
Jeb!
Wow. You're a douche.
To be honest, he is near 100% right. These sort of situation never happen.
More and more the intrusive aggressive public verbal assaults are happening in unavoidable locations like grocery shopping.
It is becoming much less an urban tale than a suburban trial lately.
I’ve seen two shoving matches at Home Depot. Shit is real.
Karen doesn't know that it's extremely unlikely that a child will contract COVID-19 or that a child will pass COVID-19 onto an adult. Karens just taking the opportunity to tell someone else what to do because deep down inside, Karen is a self righteous fascist.
Karen is a low IQ retard and she needs to be put down for everyones sake.
Karen is hoping the left wins and creates Gulags so she can become a guard.
I am waiting for someone to scold me to put on a mask, my answer will be “make me”
"Her body, her choice" would also work.
Hey, fren, I just posted this same idea before I saw your comment... great minds think alike!
mindyourownfuckingbusiness needs to be a thing
I saw a karen mean mug a guy for a similar issue at the store.
She was walking down the wrong way on a clearly marked aisle at the time.
I kind of laughed, looked at the sign, looked back at her, looked back at the sign. I think it finally dawned on her what I was doing.
lol.
”Don’t ever address my child. If you wanna talk to someone, you talk to me.” Stare them down.
yep, that's me right there. People on the receiving end of my deathstare usually shit their pants and walk away.
I honestly hope you’re not forcing a 10 year old to wear a face diaper. It will cause her more harm than good. As a parent protecting your child is your responsibility so don’t fuck them up with enforcing authoritarian muzzle laws and allowing them to relinquish individual power to the state.
and what are we supposed to do when this insanity creeps so far in that kids are required to zoom their school classes and wear a mask at home during those classes? which is already happening in, what wisconsin or some shit...?
We need massive legal action, this is so out of control, they are trying to absolutely ruin all of us, with fines, arrests, house arrests, denial of service at essential stores, separation of families, breaking small businesses in half, revoking business licenses, making us sacrifice half our family incomes to homeschool, we can't worship, we can't bury our dead properly or have a reunion or celebration... we can't keep fighting them in ones-and twos, we need to either get this solved in court, or else take a fucking stand TOGETHER... ALL OF US. Theyre trying to kill everything good and prosperous in our lives.
It’s insane.
It’s going to blow before the election I think.
Homeschool.
And laugh at them. I would laugh in the face of anyone that said me or mine need to wear masks in our own house.
Just laugh and laugh.
which requires one parent to be home during work hours.... regardless of whether its feasible for the family, they are trying to break us.
I don't usually respond to shills, but concern trolling is doing no one any favors.
Calm the fuck down.
check my post history and tell me again im a shill.
people be ripping your freedoms away from you and you say "calm down". Nice.
that is exactly what people with brand new accts who have pages and pages of steaming ratio'ed horseshit comments, and come in here and disrespect the fuck out of people indiscriminately say.
Did you even know youre acting completely predictable, or did you think you were an original fuck.
Now get the last word in that you COMPULSIVELY have to have because youre a fucking pent up retard, and then never fucking talk to me again.
I’ve notIced that people who use the phrase ‘concern trolling’ annoy the living shit out of me.
Very nice lol
MY NOSE IDENTIFIES AS MY LOWER FOREHEAD, AS SUCH IT DOESN'T REQUIRE A MASK.
I was backing away with my hand in front of my daughter as if the woman was a predator. She didn’t say a word and was mortified. This was in Davis, CA a super liberal college town at a grocery co-op. The accusation of misgendering in Davis is basically a hate crime.
Omg DAVIS.
Oh yeah, this definitely really happened, and your response was note perfect to shut it all down.
Bravo!!!
Awesome.
In Davis it's more likely a group text or email to the vegan active elders hot yoga now-online Zoom class for triple virtue signalling and outrage points. Edited event narrative of course.
Sadly I am not joking. They've all gone quite authoritarian fascist mad now.

I don't either and suspect that most people don't confront me because I open carry. 🤔
In PA, you can't open carry during a declared state of emergency without a concealed carry permit., which I have.

I still dont believe in the US people tell other people to wear a mask. Isnt the US the land of the free?
Well they're free to tell someone to do something, and we're free to ignore them. That's what these "Karens" don't realize, it goes both ways.
I had a mask Karen approach my family (husband, me, two little girls) while we were walking outside and demand that we walk in a single file line (Lol). I told her she had no right to harass an innocent family and she should stay home if she’s that freaked out.

First of all, stop making your kids wear masks. The fuck...
Second of all, I feel really really bad for the motherfucker that yells at my young children in public
“That’s true honey, fix your mask. You don’t want to smell this stinky-ass bitch.”
Game. Set. Match!
Not really, they just want us to obey. By choice or by force, the goal isn't conflict it's obedience.
I firmly believe this is how we win. They have no idea what they look like in the mirror, show them.
Nice! I can’t think on my feet like that!
See, I would have responded by very loudly, yet firmly, telling her "Don't you fucking threaten my child, you psychotic bitch!" Immediately, IMMEDIATELY take it up to the maximum, make that statement everything that the crowd will remember. if/when management is sorting out who to remove from the store, you want everyone to say "Everything was going normally, next thing I know this guy is getting between the little girl and a woman who I think threatened her." If you go by inches, she'll definitely make some shit up about you, so don't give her the opportunity.

Lmao. Be sure to add "bigot" for good measure
Putting a mask on children is child abuse.
Wish I'd been there.
This is how you do it folks. You have to out crazy them at their own game. It's the only way to win. They use words like magic spells and say whatever combination of words they want to get what they want.
Take a moment to really consider your statement. " They use words like magic spells "
You're not wrong.
hehe, yeah! i am a big proponent of using their tools against them. sometimes going even more to the left than they are.
